Braverman Test

[JuliusPleaser]

my typical chest workouts are

10sets of 12-15 with dumbbell bench.
5 sets of flat barbell bench at 12 reps, the 5 sets with weight I can get 8.

10 sets of incline DB, first 5 sets for 20 reps, last 5 sets with 10 reps (weighted accordingly)

5 sets flys

then 5 sets of something nuts like 110 dumbs for 5 or sets of 1rm on barbell.

I don't even feel warmed up till mid way.

that's when shit starts moving good

I think the point of being 'fire type' is to do less reps, but more sets. 10-12 is too high for us.

Think about it, which would make you stronger: Moving a heavy rock 30 times (10 x 3), or moving a light rock 30 times (3 x 10)

I run higher sets but shoot for 4-8 reps some days and go as high as 15 at times.
I dont think anyone can be lumped into one group but I think this is definitely a thing to consider.
Mind muscle connection is powerful. Probably the most powerful aspect of bodybuilding or lifting for strength.

I started with Dorian Yates and later through trial and error started leaning towards more sets. The process of learning what works for you as an individual is long.

I see so many guys wasting time and energy doing things by a book and studying their asses off on what worked for others then holding to a method. Nutrition is a prime example.

Some will spend a thousand hours studying what proteins and carbs are "best for muscle mass".

I hate to burst their bubble but food especially is a genetic only factor. Your diet will depend on you perfecting it and not a book.

A doctor is a mechanic.
If its a hard part of the body, they can change or fix most parts... Broken bones, joints, kidneys, livers, etc... They are mechanics.

Once a person has a genetic issue or disease about all they can do is treat and hope... Cancer, disease, neurological disorders, etc...

Now if a doctor is a mechanic, a nutritionist is the teenage kid at oriellys telling you what brand of oil is best for your engine.

I enjoy studies and articles and new ideas. Fact is though, none of them can directly tie anyone to a certain diet or training method. Maybe someday they will but here in the stone age we will have to learn what works for us. An open mind to new ideas like this guy's is key.

I always try new shit. I haven't had a mirrpr workout in a year. I change constantly. I am doing good by anyones standards because I didn't read one way that worked for someone or several people and fall into a routine. I constantly adapt everything to what is working.

I really appreciate the assessment btw! Totally off the wall approach and things like that are the way I
Learn new ways to experiment.

Indeed I agree.

It probably also good to not always go heavy, and I'll probably switch rep ranges up and shorten rest periods. I just go how my body feels anyway; we are all different and I think listening to our body is the final stage of learning what's best for us.
